No Buying Toiletries in April Challenge

hollyh

I've UU a Boots sensual aromatherapy body lotion Lemongrass & Rosemary i WNBA because although it has a surprisingly thick texture for a body lotion ( that could be due to it being more than 5 yrs old though :cool: ) the smell is vile.

Ds2's toothpaste has also been UU so there's one less of those now.

I've been using that dreaded conditioner to shave with to try and get rid of it quicker. It's actually a quite nice conditioner for the money so i don't know why i hate it so much, probably because it feels like i've been using it forever.:mad:

one uu - a pantene hair mask- wba but not sure if they still make it plus have about 4/5 hair masks in stash.this month has been quite disapointing with the amonut of uu compared to the ins- not going to complain to much as most of the ins have been free tho :P

Right - It looks like the naughty step is mine today

My Amazon order arrived (really quickly considering I only ordered on Sunday and there's been a bank holiday!) so I have IN's of:

Grace Cole Miss Cole:
Body Butter
Showergel
Shampoo
Conditioner - all full sizes

and a swapsie SD Vit E Night Cream :T

The set came with a soap but I've decided I don't like soap so it's gone in the donate box. The bag it all came in is HUGE but at the same time too small for a gym kit *puzzled face* - lovely hot pink - am tempted to get a couple more as the tween nieces would love them

I'm still waiting for some S&G eBay IN's which are marked as posted so hopefully tomorrow (or maybe I should hope for Tuesday as they'll then come under May :rotfl:)

I have to drag myself back to Asda today to get the chicken livers I forgot yesterday *rolls eyes icon*

:cool:

One UU - Batitse Dry Shampoo BRIT: WIBA? Already did

I've had my spray tan now Unfortunately, I have to leave it for 10 hours before I can wash it off. My friend said to just keep it on overnight and then have a bath tomorrow morning. She said I must moisturise every day (I do!) and gave me another sachet of moisturiser.
When she was putting the block cream on my hands and feet she checked my elbows and knees to see if I needed it there to stop me getting browner bits. She was very impressed and said she could tell that I really do take care of my skin. She said my feet are fantastic . So there IS a point (other than it making you feel fabulous) to all of this pampering . Need to go and sort my hair out though because it's gone a bit wild today. That's what happens when I don't hunt the hairbrush down after I've washed it

Debenhams have sent me an email for a £5 reward on my Beauty Club Card which 'must' be spent before 14th May. Considering I have another £10 in rewards on there, plus I got a fairly hefty tax rebate, plus I start my new job tomorrow, I need reasons to not think, "Woo hoo, Touche Eclat for a tenner!" The creaking noise you can hear is my willpower being tested...

Well, just thought I'd pop in and say HI! seeing as Im still alive (just) had some absolute !!!! almost run me over in town, and then if thats not bad enough he starts beeping his horn and screaming abuse at me too, fantastic. Because of course its MY fault he wasn't looking where he was going, was speeding and didn't indicate....

Not as warm today which is a little disappointing but does mean my heat rash is going down, in fact my house is almost cold again now to the point Im thinking about putting the heating back on - 16 degrees in here today (with heating it gets to a whopping 18 - no not a typo ).

Avoided buying any toiletries in town - of course having only £16 left in my bank account has nothing to do with it Actually on the bank account front I'm incredibly worried - OH decided last night we should sign up for tickets for the olympic games which at the time seemed like a good idea (he said he would pay) but as you can only use each card once we used mine for the second selection - tickets if we get them on my account were £196 :eek: which would be fine except they take the money anytime between the 10th May - 10th June THIS YEAR if you are successful....so having only £16 in my account could become somewhat of a problem....hey ho

Probably shouldnt post this but...came across this on the grabbit board https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/3196430

:wave: I have had sooo many NPI's this month. :eek: The other day my daughter actually had to undo my fingers that were tightly gripped around a couple of those new Max Factor eye crayons! :D

I have some UUs and an "In".

First the In: I bought that new Maybelline Eraser Foundation and Primer in Boots, because I'll need foundation soon, and I was buying a nail polish for my daughter anyway which then was free because of 3 for 2. (I'm big on GCSE revision rewards and bribery!)

It's between three and six months ahead of schedule but I'm running out faster than I thought so I feel Ok with that.

Now for the Usey Uppys: (I've been on a roll this week!)

UU 75ml L'Occitane Almond Shower Oil WIBA? Yes - I love the smell and the moisturisation. (Not for a while though.)

UU Jemma Kidd Gloss stick in Bridgetown WIBA? I already have bought a duo of this slightly tinted gloss balm. :D

UU 250ml Model Me Erin Shampoo WIBA? I liked it fine and would've been willing to buy it again in the future, once I've used up my stash.

UU 50ml REN Neroli and Grapefruit Body Wash WIBA? Yes. I love the smell of grapefruit in the morning. I don't need to buy any for a while though.

UU Alpha H eye complex WIBA? I'm going to see how my eyelids deteriorate when I'm not using it first, just to check, but I think it's been fab. Yes.

UU Meaningful Beauty Mask 50ml WIBA? I think this stuff is amazing for my giant pores so I'll buy it the first chance I get.

UU REN Glycolactic Mask 15ml Ren WIBA? This is Holy Grail for me and I use it regularly so Yes I will repurchase when I run out of minis like this one.

I am very close to finishing a Jemma Kidd blusher, foundation and primer and a Bobbi Brown tinted moisturiser and I gave away YBF Cheek Color Passion Petal Blush to someone it suited waaay better than me.

I gave my - barely even opened let alone used - Genie Face Powder to my daughter to save her having to buy a powder, and I have hit pan on Bobbi Brown Woodrose which I bought somjetime prior to 2003 and which I use if not quite every day then definitely several times a week as my Go To natural crease colour.

I gave Jemma Kidd Antique cream shadow away to someone who wanted to try it, and gave Bobbi Brown Forest eye shadow back to the person I bought it from because she really missed it.

And finally I have a Clinique Cream Shaper in Chocolate Lustre that will maybe last one more sharpening and that's it - cos it's down to a nub!

That's me updated. How's it going for you?

Oh dear - I've fallen off the wagon big style today :( Budge up on the naughty step

Using the examples given previously, I had worked out that I have three - yes THREE YEARS worth of shampoo in the bathroom to use up so why I felt I absolutley had to buy a Tigi superstar shampoo AND and an OS teatree and mint one too today I've no idea:o:o I only needed a boots expert redness relief serum as I ran out this morning.

Incidently they seem to have stopped doing the boots expert redness relief serum and now call it boots simply sensitive redness relief serum http://www.boots.com/en/Boots-Simply-Sensitive-Anti-Redness-Serum-30ml_1189245/ (anyway I got it and apart from being in a smaller container for the same price it seems to be the same stuff )

So whilst I seem to be able to avoid body lotions, moisturisers etc whilst out and about it seems that shampoo is still a problem:eek:

It doesn't help that I went to the hairdressers on saturday and insisted that she cut all my hair off - so I now have a very short layered bob. I've very fine but greasy hair with a very very sensitive scalp, that I've been trying to train so I don't have to wash it every day. I had got to three days (wash day 1, batiste day 2, pony tail day 3) but hair too short now so I'm back to washing on alternate days and batisting the inbetween day:eek:

Anyone know it there's an offer on Batiste anywhere - I'm going through it like it's going out of fashion here!!!!:D

Anyways the suns still out and I've just heard DH come in from work so I'm off to grab the sun lounger before he does;) I'll update my sig later :j
